A new attrac- tion in the park was the display of wonderful petunias purchased from Topper Gardens and planted for us by Mr. Geo. Topper. (8) The sprayer operated in 20 orchards, not in every case satisfactorily. Perhaps the weather may be blamed. (9) The Delphinium Show, the united effort of Richmond Hill and Thornhill So- cieties and held this year of its in- ception at Thornhill, was a decided success.

It was under his direc- tion that the work on the Yonge St. Boulevard was carried on. (12) This year the County Council offered no grant to Horticultural hence our receipts Were reduced by $25, and the departmental grant of $18.15 was almost a cataclysmic drop from $149.00, the grant in 1931, but our own good village council granted 550 as heretofore. (13) The peren- nial plants from Topper Gardens and shrubs from Endean Nurseries pur- chased by the society and given as premiums were evidently popular as most of the members availed them- selves ofithis benefit derived from membership. (14) In two recent is- sues of the “Liberal” our capable president, Mr, Angle, has written thoughtful and interesting letters pointing out_the value of the Horti- cultural Society to the community and commending it to, our citizens. In presenting the above report, your secretary would like to encour- age the directors and members of the society by drawing their attention to the well authenticated fact that Old Man Good Times who for so long has been lurking behind the fence has at last come out into the open having rounded the corner.
